Play-by-play announcer

Is there an option to have a play-by-play announcer?
(not text, but talking)

Can't find.

Yes, under the "game sounds" drop down box there is an option for "experimental text to speech" or something like that. I haven't tried it in OOTP 21, but it was pretty rough in OOTP20.

You can turn on text-to-speech in the sound options. It will use your operating system's text-to-speech to translate the play-by-play. The default options in Windows are very robotic though. They may work for certain things, but calling a baseball game is surely not one of them.

Tried it for one batter and could not switch it off quick enough.
